Virtual Cell: computational tools for modeling in cell biology.
The Virtual Cell (VCell) is a general computational framework for modeling physicochemical and electrophysiological processes in living cells. Developed by the National Resource for Cell Analysis and Modeling at the University of Connecticut Health Center, it provides automated tools for simulating a wide range of cellular phenomena in space and time, both deterministically and stochastically. ...
متن کاملComputational cell biology
All of us who do experiments and think about biology on a daily basis know that biological systems are exceedingly complex. Biologists have long avoided facing up to the interconnected nature of cellular processes by using reductionist approaches. This strategy has been spectacularly successful in identifying key factors for many fundamentally important biological processes. However, the tradit...
متن کاملComputational Modeling, Formal Analysis, and Tools for Systems Biology
As the amount of biological data in the public domain grows, so does the range of modeling and analysis techniques employed in systems biology. In recent years, a number of theoretical computer science developments have enabled modeling methodology to keep pace. The growing interest in systems biology in executable models and their analysis has necessitated the borrowing of terms and methods fr...
متن کاملComputational imaging in cell biology
Microscopy of cells has changed dramatically since its early days in the mid-seventeenth century. Image analysis has concurrently evolved from measurements of hand drawings and still photographs to computational methods that (semi-) automatically quantify objects, distances, concentrations, and velocities of cells and subcellular structures. Today's imaging technologies generate a wealth of dat...
متن کاملChemical genetics: tailoring tools for cell biology.
Chemical genetics is a research approach that uses small molecules as probes to study protein functions in cells or whole organisms. Here, I review the parallels between classical genetic and chemical-genetic approaches and discuss the merits of small molecules to dissect dynamic cellular processes. I then consider the pros and cons of different screening approaches and specify strategies aimed...
